NEW DELHI: Opener Jason Roy has made the decision to give up his "incremental contract" with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in order to participate in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States. Despite this move, the ECB has assured Roy that he will still be considered for selection in the national white-ball teams in the future.
With an increasing trend of players prioritising franchise-based T20 leagues in the global cricket landscape, English cricketers like Roy are in high demand across various leagues. This shift in loyalty towards league commitments prompts players to assess the amount of time they want to devote to national duties.
